Depends: ..On region you are traveling. Different areas may have resistant malaria; which preventative malaria medication you should take will vary. Also, you will be offered choice based on activity, potential side effects, risk profile, length of stay, sun exposure, stomach sensitivity, personal medical history, even medication costs. Plan on discussing this with provider carefully. Don't forget deet!
